Postcard is clean and intact overall but has slight surface wear on front and back and a crease in the upper-left corner of the image. A Very Good copy. This postcard shows the USS Antigone (ID-3007) at sea. USS Antigone was actually first known as the USS Neckar, a German transport ship that had been built and launched in 1900 by J. C. Tecklenborg, a shipbuilding company. Neckar had also been in the fleet of a shipping company called Norddeutscher Lloyd (North German Lloyd). The United States seized Neckar in 1917 during World War I, and the ship became the USS Antigone. Antigone remained a transport and carried soldiers and supplies to and from Europe. Antigone made eight round-trips between the U.S. and France during the war and also brought troops back to the U.S. when the war ended. The ship was decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Register in 1919. USS Antigone was still used after the war and became a U.S. Army transport and then eventually became the SS Potomac as part of a shipping company called the United States Lines. Oscar Wadsworth Waterman (1880-1975) was an American photographer. He came from a family of photographers and began taking naval photographs around 1907. He was based in Hampton, Virginia but eventually relocated to San Diego to follow his clientele. Waterman specialized in taking photos of naval subjects throughout his career.
